Greens on Campus is a club for all environmentally and socially conscious people at the University of Auckland. We deal with a wide range of issues, such as climate change and child poverty. Get involved and make the most of your time at university :)

This will be the first of our regular fortnightly meetings. Come along, meet other Greenies, discuss things that matter.

This week we'll talk about a few options re what issue(s) we'd like the club to focus on this year. Totally up to us members, so pls feel free to make suggestions about what is important to you, to other students, and to New Zealand more generally.

There have been requests that we follow up on the NZ Child Poverty issues that Marianna from Child Poverty Action Group introduced us to during the previous meeting. We are in possession of the price-winning documentary 'Inside Child Poverty' now, and we'll screen it during the second half of the meeting. The documentary explores the last 100 years of child welfare in New Zealand and has been called 'compulsory viewing'.

Thanks so much to all Campus Greens who helped out with this week's O Week presence, particularly Samuel, Philip, Kate, David, Um Esh, Terri, and Michelle. We're also very grateful to our MPs Holly, Denise, and Gareth for their support!! It was a great week - heaps of new members, good conversations, lots of laughter, and constant sunshine. O for awesome :D

Next week is O Week at University of Auckland. Naturally, we will have a stall on campus, Monday to Friday (04 - 08 March), 10:00 - 15:00.

Please let us know if you are able to help out at the stall. You will have the opportunity to hang out with some cool Green MPs. We have David Clendon on Tuesday, Holly Walker and Gareth Hughes on Wednesday, and Denise Roche on Thursday. So come and join us, chat with MPs, meet new club members, and have a great time.
